Thanks I'm not talking about the outdrive. I'm talking about the whole gimbal assembly.

"Now i got you, there are 8 bolts/nuts to remove , like I said download the inst. manual .shows these items clearly"

I have 3 TRS's [ project boat? ]. My three transom gimbles all have non S/S studs. Why don't they use stainless steel on new installations? Hence fewer problems! I was told that S/S can not hold tension! Is that correct?
 
Depending on what was used for

Depending on what was used for a sealer on the gimble housing you are going to have to go around all the edges with a thin putty knife or something of that sort to break the seal to the transom.
